MARYLAND 

IN   FETTERS! 


How  beautiful  in  tears  ! 

Dear  noble  State ; 
Encumbered  round  with  cares, 
Thy  grief,  how  great. 

The  spoiler's  foot  upon  thee. 
His  ruthless  hand  is  on  thee, 
With  manacles  he's  bound  thee, 
Hard  is  thy  fate  ! 


Mother  of  wretchedness 

I  feel  for  thee  ! 
Bow'd  down  in  deep  distress, 
I  kneel  to  thee ! 

I  see  thy  wretched  woes, 
Thy  agonizing  throes. 
And  sympathize  with  those 
Who'd  set  thee  free ! 

Thy  tears  are  those  of  blood. 

Sweet  mother  dear ! 
An  accumiilated  flood 
Of  wrongs  severe ! 

Thy  honor's  trampled  under, 
Thy  peace  is  rent  asunder, 
God  of  the  rattling  thunder. 
Oh !  lend  an  ear. 


Break  !  break !  the  traitor's  chain. 

Oh  i  God  of  heaven; 
And  from  our  down  trod  land 
Let  them  be  driven  ! 

Let  Lincoln  know  his  place, 
Let  black  men  know  their  face, 
And  from  our  injured  race 
All  wrongs  be  riven  !
